7:04 am
30,000 feet in the air, are literally sparking the biggest dangers. >> when you get a column that puts out this much smoke, embers get into the column and can drop anywhere. it's predicted to go right over the top of this town. >> it's an art town. it's a music town. a lot of talent up here. it's a unique town. i'm just hoping it's going to be saved. >> reporter: evacuated res tents worry that their homes, along with the heritage of idyllwild, could go up in smoke. that's already happened to a nearby summer camp. the camp director carmine ibanez, had almost no time to get campers out safely. >> it was about 40 minutes from the time we got our first evacuation to the mandatory. >> reporter: firefighters working to keep this blaze in check. normally, when night falls, so do temperatures while humidity rise, given them a helping hand. that's not been the case this week.
7:05 am
as summer-like weather conditions have continued into the night. right now, this fire is only 15% contained. it's just a couple of miles outside the city limits palm springs. though no houses are threatened there. there is some good news this morning. a couple of the communities here in the mountains, the evacuation orders have been lifted and there is a chance a slight chance, of rain over the weekend. charlie, norah. >> thanks bill. a week-long heat wave still has most of the country in its grip. it is another unbearably hot day from the east coast to the midwastemid midwest midwest. >> the hot weather is moving west. highs will range from 99 in boston to 95 in chicago. heat indexes will top 100 degrees in many area. the heat wave is expected to break soon. for now, we're just going to have to take it. jim axelrod is in new york city's times square this
7:06 am
morning. >> reporter: yesterday was the hottest day of the year in new york. today is forecast to be even worse. temperatures expected to climb into the upper 90s. throw in the humidity, it's going to feel like it's between 105 and 110. >> across the city new yorkers are trying to beat the heat any way they can. >> i like to try, not wake up before noon. i think that's a good way to fight the heat. >> reporter: for a sixth straight day temperatures are expected to soar. threatening to push the city's power grid to its limit. to avoid widespread outages, con edison, the city's largest utility company, has asked customers to con verveserve energy. >> obviously with the heat the sun as well as the heat all that energy pumping through our system, components could fail. >> reporter: it's not just con ed taking precautions. amtrak slowed its trains between boston and washington thursday
7:07 am
because the heat could make track, expand. local authorities are also trying to determine if the hot weather played a role in this freight train derailment. a major commuter line was suspended as a result. adding to an already slow and sticky commute for people who live in the suburbs. further south, utility companies were looking in whether overheated power likes contributed to a fire. new yorkers tried to cool off at city water stations temperatures just kept climbing. >> miserable. feels like i live inside a dog's mouth. >> reporter: still, not everyone has had enough. >> when the wintertime wouldn't leave and it was cold and we kept saying we can't wait for the change. so that's why i'm not complain. i'd rather deal with the heat than the cold. i'm okay new york. so you guys get okay with it too. >> reporter: now, for the good news. i'm very pleased to report relief is in sight. at least according to the forecasters. a cold front is forecast to move through here tomorrow night. that means all that heat and humidity will be shoved
7:08 am
southward by sunday. charlie, norah. >> thanks bill. in boston a police officer is taking matters into his own hands. he is among those furious over the "rolling stone" cover photo of the marathon bombing suspect. that officer has leaked stunning pictures of dzhokhar tsarnaev. they come from the night of his capture. elaine quijano is in boston. >> reporter: sergeant sean murphy did not have permission from the massachusetts state police when he released those dramatic photos. in one photograph, dzhokhar tsarnaev emerges from the boat where he had been hiding. his aim squarely on the 19-year-old's head. in another he pulled up his sweatshirt revealed a bloody hand and clearer glimpse of his head wound. again, a laser is trained above his brow. about 20 minutes earlier, dzhokhar and his brother allegedly killed an m.i.t.
7:09 am
officer, sean collier, then engaged in a firefight with police that left one officer seriously wounded and tamerlynn dead. with the area on lockdown sergeant murphy and a s.w.a.t. team closed in on the man known as suspect number two. police surrounded the backyard where dzhokhar lay hidden. capturing the moment when he made his way off the boat slouching over the side before being pulled to the ground by officers and then taken to a waiting ambulance. it's been three months since the bombing killed three. the release of this "rolling stone" cover has outraged the city. calling the cover, an insult saying it has irritated the wounds that will never heal again. there is nothing glamorous in bringing more pain to a breathing family. murphy wants his photos to show something different.
7:10 am
saying hopes the people who see these images will know that it's real. but reality has come at a cost for murphy. late thursday night, he was temporarily relieved of his official duty. in a statement, u.s. attorney general carmine ortiz said the release of these photos was completely unacceptable. now, in a statement, sergeant murphy said he was not speaking on behalf of the state police. he's been relieved of duty for at least one day. authorities are not saying whether the photos have been entered into evidence in the case against tsarnaev here in federal court. >> the justice department has placed on hold all evidence in the george zimmerman murder trial, including the gun he used to kill trayvon martin. attorney general holder said this week a federal investigation is under way. late night florida governor rick scott met with some of the protesters angry over the not guilty verdict. they want the state's stand your ground law repealed.
7:11 am
scott told them he supports keeping this law in place. >> it has been long feared. this morning, it is reality in detroit. the motor city filed for chapter 9 protection yesterday. the largest municipal bankruptcy in american history. it took decades of decay to bring down the one-time industrial giant. cbs news contributor and analyst mel mel mellody hobson joins us. what does this mean for detroit? >> bad, can't pay your bills, going to be hard to borrow money. the basic city services you expect just eroding so fast. this is a city that has closed 100 schools since 2004. has closed half its parks since 2008. if you call the police it takes about 58 minutes to get them to come. 40% of the street lights don't work. it's expected to get worse. the other school of thought says
7:12 am
maybe a silver lining. i have to tell you, i'm in that camp. they get to restart. they're not saddleled with the debt. and they can reinvent the city and they can look to even the companies in their own backyard like general motors and chrysler that went bankrupt they came through better so it is an opportunity. >> do they have a plan for recovery? >> i don't think a plan is there. i don't think they have a plan for bankruptcy. i think this thing is going to be bogged down in court for many, many many years. especially because of the pension issue. >> yeah, is this really about pensions and retiree benefits? how many working class people will lose a lot of their retiree benefits? >> well, this is the big question. because the constitution of michigan says that you can't restructure pensions as part of a bankruptcy. and that's where the real question is here. the city manager who has taken other is suggesting that everything's on the table. unions are going to fight this
7:13 am
very hard. 20,000 people who are counting on these pensions are going to say we've already paid in we were working and paid into the system. we're owed this money. we're owed this health care. but more importantly, the whole country is going to be watching this. because so many cities and states have this pension obligation that they don't know how to handle $1 trillion -- >> other cities are facing the possibility of making the same decision detroit did? >> there's no question. since 2010 we've had 23 cities and municipalities declare bark bankruptcy. the suggestion is detroit will give other cities and big cities permission to do the same thing. >> mellody, good to see you, thanks. john kerry is making a surprise trip to the west bank in his latest efforts to revive middle east peace talks. he visited with syrian refugees at a camp just miles from the syrian border. >> america's top military officer says the tide has
7:14 am
shifted in the civil war. margaret brennan is at the state department. >> good morning, charlie and norah. as that conflict threatens key u.s. allies secretary kerry made a surprise visit to the syrian border. making him the only senior member of the obama administration to see the realities first hand. secretary kerry told aidings that he wanted to see the syrian crisis up close. he helicoptered into the massive zaatari camp where around 150 refugees live on the border. they begged him to stop the violence in syria. >> i explained i don't think it's as cut and dry and simple. >> reporter: the administration promised to provide military support to the syrian rebels a month ago. no weapons have arrived. in an interview with charlie rose after the decision to arm,
7:15 am
president obama still sounded reluctant. >> some of the most effective fighters within the opposition have been those who frankly are not particularly friendly towards the united states of america and arming them willy-nilly is not a good recipe for meeting american interests over the long term. >> reporter: those reservations are shared by some on capitol hill. others simply don't want to carry out the president's plan. the chairman of the giant chiefs, martin denlsy has also voiced concern. >> is that your answer? >> reporter: on thursday senator mccain pressed him. >> do you believe the continues costs and risks of our inaction in syria are now worst for our national security interests than the costs and risks associated with limited military action? >> with all due respect, you're asking me to agree we've been inactive and we have not been inactive. >> reporter: the pentagon has proposed a use of force action the white house is reluctant to take but general dempsey says the rebels need military
7:16 am
training, something the pentagon is not providing. a high level rebel commander will come here to the u.s. for meetings next week. >> margaret let me ask you about some of the news today about the palestinians have refused to back secretary kerry's peace talks. how big of a setback is that? >> reporter: we have seen a great deal of shuttle diplomacy on the part of secretary kerry between the israelis and the palestinians. the u.s. has been reluctant to lay blame at the doorstep of either party. but we have seen some proposals for economic development to the palestinians and some leverage being pushed there. we do know that israel's coming under increased pressure including from europe because of their settlements that they are developing which encroaches on palestinian land. so right now, we'll see if secretary kerry can get the parties back to the table. doesn't look good at this point. >> margaret thank you. new rules to protect its secrets. the rulings are aimed at
7:17 am
computer analysts like edward snowden. the nsa leaker says he took classified documents while working for the agency. the agency will require analysts to work in irpas s pairs so no one can access secret information without being seen. a lot of buzz when it comes to the birth of the royal baby. elizabeth palmer is at st. mary's hospital in london. >> reporter: it's a hot bed of rumors here. the latest one reported is the key medical staff that are going to be at the birth have been ordered off the booze. no alcoholic drinks till after the baby arrives. once the baby's born apart from the champagne toasts of course there will be 62 gun salute from the tower of london. that's the traditional volley that marks royal milestones. it's the same salute that echoed across london in 1948 when prince charles, the current heir
7:18 am
to the throne was born to queen elizabeth. his own father prince philip hadn't gone anywhere near the delivery room. robert hardman is a royal author. >> prince philip famously went off to play squash. that is what fathers did in those days. >> reporter: prince william won't be doing that. he's planning to be at kate's side the whole time. once the baby's here the city of london has a birthday party planned. the river thames main stage for the jubilee pageant last year will be the scene of a grand light show. and from the capital's famous ferris wheel, will shine the red, white and blue colors of the union. the palace is sticking to its original estimate saying mid-july. headlines from around the globe. the dallas morning news says

7:30 am
you're leading in the polls, you could win this thing, you know, it's possible weiner could think, mark sanford has a comeback. do you think that it seems voters are more forgiving than they used to be. do you think that signals progress for our country, or the slow decay of our moral values? [ laughter ] >> wow. wow. >> oh yeah. >> this is a tough one. >> this ain't charlie rose [ bleep ]. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." more bad blood at the trial of whitey bulger. we'll look at what happened when another former friend took the stand. and there is mystery surrounding the death of a potential witness. >> plus, medical clinics inside stores. they can save you money but are they a smart alternative to regular doctor's offices?
7:31 am
we're going to talk to a leading internist internist. that story is ahead. and a paternity saga is unfolding not on day time tv talk show but in the halls of congress. steve cohen now says the woman he thought was his illegitimate daughter is not related to him at all. jan crawford is on capitol hill. jan what does the congressman say about their relationship? >> you know norah, this is just kind of a strange and sad story. it first came to light in february when he sent what looked like a suggestive tweet to this young woman from texas. then he said, there's nothing going on she is my daughter. that's been proven false. he's finally breaking his silence in interview you'll see only on cbs this morning. representative cohen said he's still trying to make sense of it. >> i was totally stunned. to me, was almost a lark because there was no way. >> reporter: for the past 3 1/2 years, cohen believed he was the
7:32 am
biological father of victoria brink. >> i loved her did everything in the world for her, tried to show her what i can, my world. >> reporter: brink first to the nation's attention in february, after cohen tweeted her while he was at the state of the union address. nice to know you're watching state of the union, cohen wrote, happy valentine's, beautiful girl, ilu. short for "i love you." the prospect of an illicit relationship between cobeen, a lifelong bachelor and brink, an aspiring swimsuit model who is nearly 40 years his junior. cohen explained himself. >> the young lady is my daughter. and it was most appropriate that i responded to her and told her i loved her, which i do. >> reporter: cohen thought brink was his love child from an affair with houston lawyer cynthia sinatra. >> i googled her mother and found out that she had a child
7:33 am
and figured out through that that the math looked pretty accurate. >> reporter: months later, brink took a dna test. >> the results show that steve cohen is not my father. >> reporter: the results also show that texas businessman john brink was her father all along. cohen explained why he hadn't asked for a dna test before. >> i didn't have children. i was thrilled to have a daughter. i didn't want in any way at all for her to think i was somehow questioning the relationship or trying to avoid the relationship. >> reporter: though cohen does not yet know if they will continue to have a relationship he told us they texted thursday. >> i hope to have a relationship with her. i care about her. she's a very sweet young lady. and for 3 1/2 years, i had a daughter and it was nice to care about somebody and share. >> reporter: now cohen said he paid for that paternity test which was shown on cnn at brink's request. charlie and norah, just hours before he sat down with us he set off kind of another mini twitter troers of erter controversy
7:34 am
of sorts when he was asked about the dna results. he said you're very attractive but i'm not talking about it. he later apologized. he said, look this is a difficult and personal time for him. >> all right, thank you. >> did she think he was her father? that cohen was her father? >> yes, she said she thought she was her father for the past several years. he took her to a white house party. that tweet was made public. >> he introduced her as his daughter? >> i don't know. i don't know about that. >> is there more to this story? >> we'll have to see. we'll have to see. >> today could bring more tension in the trial of mobster bolger. his ex-partner returned to the witness stand. another man who wanted to testify against bulger has been found dead in a wooded area. cbs news analyst rikki klieman is outside the courthouse in boston. >> reporter: good morning. >> let's go to the person who was found dead, what is it
7:35 am
behind this story we ought to know? >> reporter: well steven was found dead on a road where he may have been walking or he may have been moved to. what we know is that there was no trauma to the body. however, this is not an area in which he lives. the circumstances of his disappearing are clearly suspicious. what we also learned from the boston globe today is certainly the fact that what we are hearing is that this mr. raking may have just been prevented from testifying. one other fact charlie and norah, that i think is important, is that raking would have testified contrary to raking. >> rakes is the former liquor store owner, correct? >> correct. who he says was extorted at gunpoint by weeks and flem
7:36 am
flemmi. he said no rakes wanted to sell this to us. you have to remember, he waited for decades to testify against bulger and then suddenly he's dead. >> it can't get any stranger. and then you say today in court may be the climax. >> fireworks might be expected here today. what are these? >> i think this day is the day in the trial except for the fact whitey bulger if he does testify. stevie flemmi hit the witness stand, was barely on ten minutes, and what he did was bury bulger. he said bulger was an informant. he said they killed at lead ten people that stevie admits to. stevie admits that bulger himself was informing over 100 times to correct special agent john conley described as forceful, overbearing, more forceful and overbearing than i,
7:37 am
says stevie flemmi and stevie flemmi hates him. >> i thought you said at this table that he would be -- it would be irresistible to him to want to be in that spotlight. >> well i think that it is irresistible for him. if i'm his lawyer i tell him i don't want to testify. if i'm whitey bulger i do want to testify. and especially now that stevie has testified. one more thing that's important, charlie and norah, about yesterday, is this strange staredown that took place after the jury exited and you've got flemmi staring down with dagger eyes at bulger. gets out an expletive. he says mother expletive. whitey mumbles something under his breath. and then what happens is stevie looks back at him and says oh really. so you can tell that today, when flemmi is going to detail every single homicide including the strangling of those two women, that whitey bulger could be
7:38 am
provoked by flemmi and that's exactly what flemmi wants to do. >> thank you. there could be another casualty of superstorm sandy. verizon says it won't replace those traditional phone lines damaged by the disaster. michelle miller look, at whys at why the solution is leaving some feeling disconnected. >> how much water came up? >> a little under two feet of water. >> reporter: walter veth hasn't had a phone line inside his home since superstorm sandy blasted new jersey over eight months ago. >> i assumed since the telephone service would be one of the easier services to install that we would have service. >> reporter: but verizon, the company that owns the phone lines, has decided not to replace the copper wire infrastructure that once provided veth and hundreds of other residents here with a land line. when sandy hit, phone lines like this one were snapped. others underground were flooded
7:39 am
out. for 850 homeowners that meant the end of hard line phone service as they knew it. instead, verizon is offering customers an alternative system called voice link. a home phone service that runs on a cellular network. but veth like many other residents here is hesitant to have the system installed, saying the service is unreliable and is incompatible with his home security system and fax machine. >> reporter: so are people just not willing to adapt? >> i think people have a tendency to reach their comfort zone. >> reporter: tom maguire is the verizon executive in charge of operations. he says all digital land lines are the wave of the future. are we seeing the end of copper? >> the big question is not whether or not copper is physically out there, or will anybody care that it's out there and be using other technologies to communicate. >> reporter: maguire insists the technology being offered comes with the same capabilities as a
7:40 am
traditional land line including access to emergency services and security systems. advocacy groups like the aarp oppose verizon's plan, saying more research needs to be done before abandoning the land line. >> if you can't pick up the phone and dial zero and get an operator and you can't use your life alert system and you can't use your home security system and there's a burrglar at your door, those are basic necessities. we need to make sure there are consumer protections in place. >> reporter: if state legislatures put a stop to the plan, the company will have no choice but to restore its copper lines. but if the plan is approved land lines that have existed for more than a century could soon be a thing of the past. for cbs this morning, michelle miller, mantoloking, new jersey. >> such an interesting story. if you talk to young people none of them have land lines. >> i keep one. sometimes you have an important
7:41 am

8:37 am
>> well, everyone wants this killer caught, but there's been a lot of victim blaming in this case, and "lost girls" tries to counteract that. these women were all women leading pretty much functional working-class lives and then suddenly they found themselves faced with a decision, whether to continue the way they were going or to make an unbelievable amount of money on the internet as an escort. the internet made it more anonymous and it made it, you know, less dangerous they thought. >> here's a question i have. if all of them were using the internet, right, advertising their service, shouldn't there be a computer link then to this serial killer? >> you know, that's exactly what i thought. one of the things in this case is that the police have not made much headway at all. burners and disposable cell phones make it a little more difficult to trace and a huge delay, if which you'll hear on "48 hours." >> right, because they disappeared way before they were found, and many of these cases the police didn't even investigate.

there's also a problem with the investigation where you final missing perps report in the case of shannan gilbert, her family filed a missing persons report, put information in it, but they were required to file it where she lived, which was new jersey, and the investigation was going on in suffolk county, new york. so all of that important information, somebody dropped the ball. it never got to suffolk county. >> very frustrating for the families. looking forward to it. erin moriarty and robert coker, congratulations on the book. i know you did a lot of investigative book.
